Bengaluru Police have arrested the parents of an 11-month-old baby after they murdered her and tried to stage the death as an accident, officials said on Monday. Police said that the infant girl’s father, Shekeappa, had initially approached cops that his baby fell from the bed and died while his wife Vijayalakshmi had fallen asleep during breastfeeding. The case was initially registered as an unnatural death. However, post-mortem examination and subsequent investigation revealed that the evidence was inconsistent with their original version of events, leading police to charge them with murder. The incident happened on June 9 at Kitaganur village under the jurisdiction of Avalahalli Police Station in East Bengaluru.
